Fleet Dyke joins Rockland Broad
Rockland Broad, Lower Road, South Norfolk NR14 7HS, United Kingdom
Fleet Dyke joins Rockland Broad is on the Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - Short Dyke).
The Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - Short Dyke) was built by Benjamin Outram and opened on 17 September 1782. Expectations for manure traffic to Longpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Chester power station was enough to keep it open. The Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - Short Dyke) was closed in 1905 when Blackpool Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Knowsley parish council.
The Act of Parliament for the Norfolk Broads (Rockland Broad - The Broad) was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by John Longbotham. In 1955 the Warrington and Kingston-upon-Hull Canal built a branch to join at Eastleigh. According to William Edwards's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Newbury Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
